Patient's question:
At first, I didn't feel anything uncomfortable, but recently, during intimacy with my husband, I've noticed dryness, and I've also been experiencing itching in my outer vaginal area. After a check-up, it was diagnosed as leukoplakia of the vulva. I'm not very familiar with this condition. Could you please tell me which treatment method is better for leukoplakia of the vulva?Doctor's answer:
Your condition is considered to be vulvitis. It is recommended to maintain cleanliness, dryness, and ventilation in the perineal area, change cotton underwear frequently, and choose loose-fitting underwear. You can use potassium permanganate solution to clean the vulva or take a sit bath to increase local friction. If necessary, use antibiotics. It may also be folliculitis or inflammation of the sebaceous glands. Avoid spicy foods, maintain a low-fat diet, apply erythromycin ointment, and frequently use hot water to wash. Vulvitis is an easily occurring gynecological disease. During medication, women should pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to maintaining vulvar cleanliness and frequently changing underwear. Finally, I wish female patients a speedy recovery.
